I'm down to one of the four Mythological creatures to beat. I think there are four? Those battles are rough. Lots of running and dodging.

Re: Assasin's Creed Odyssey
I finally picked this up today. I have to wait for my Xbox to come before I can play it though.

So, IRL I'm afraid of snakes. This game creeps me out on those assholes too. Especially considering the places you find them in all the time. And Medussa's lair, fuck her. So many of those bastards.

Re: Assasin's Creed Odyssey
I decided to get the max bounty on my head last night for fun. I did it naval style though, just so I didn't screw up any quests or anything on land. That, and having 4 or 5 mercs come at me at the same time on land sounds like a good way to die fast. My ship is pretty pimped out though, so I wasn't worried about losing a naval battle. I sure eliminated a lot of mercs, although it took a while.

It takes a few hours to really get into it. I think I ended up with 130+ hours played. It's a damn fine game, except for the first DLC set which was fucked. The Atlantis one is good though.Tommy_Hawk wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 3:24 pm Downloading and installing right now. How excited should I really be, realistically?

I played for a couple hours last night. It was pretty fun. I set the gameplay on 'Hard' and am playing as the male character even though I was told to play as the female. Without spoilers, why? I have a hard time playing as females in games if I have the choice.

Ha, yeah. He kind of reminds me of 'Thor' of the Marvel Universe. I just didn't know if they had separate skill trees, or the story altered. The Bounty Hunter is tough. He whooped my ass 5 times before I finally called it a night. He's two levels ahead of me, but I dont like the idea of him creeping around looking for me.

I've attacked stronger ones kind of jousting style. I get on my horse and just attack as my horse runs by. Turn around and repeat. I can usually wipe them out without taking any damage. Just have to do it in the country side so your horse will actually run instead of trot like he does in town.Tommy_Hawk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2020 12:48 pmHa, yeah.

That's really funny. I may try that out instead of lowering the difficulty. I love the idea of a boss, or bosses in games and these dudes feel like one. In Baldur's Gate or even Skyrim, you could make tough guys follow you into town, and their guards/soldiers would help you out and reduce antagonist's focus on you. I'm looking forward to playing this some more.

I sort of feel like just grinding the shit out of this until I'm at like level 50 or some shit just so I can travel and have a shot to kill whatever person or do whatever side mission I want... Like I get not wanting to spoil the main game, but why not just make those missions unavailable until you've gotten there in the story? I just like exploring and checking out the land. For now, I'm just going to keep running around the world unloking fast travel points for a while. At least it will make getting through the story go a little more quickly... or I'll just take a break from this one again and try out one of the other 70 games I bought over the holidays...

I don't recall having a tough time with leveled up NPC's other than bosses, arena fights, etc. For the most part, they should be around your level?

Which is strangely satisfying. It's about the only way I've had any shot at taking out the higher ranking ones. My build has been Hunter and assassin heavy with a few select warrior options mixed in. So that might have something to do with it.

Re: Assasin's Creed Odyssey
Yeah. Im level 10 and its a grind for me right now on 'Hard' difficulty. I can get the Odyssey Quest things done fairly easily but its hard to level up before I move ahead doing side quests and stuff. Maybe Im just not very good at the fighting mechanics yet. I mean I do alright but a quarter of the time I feel like Im on the load screen after getting my ass whooped. Fun game though.

Feels like a lot of running and re-engaging then running again. I'm back to doing the missions again after I opened the bottom right quarter + of the map and synced at least one fast travel spot on each island that I could. I gotta say I do like the different environment some of islands have. Just wondered through some volcanic regions which were kinda neat for a change of pace. I'm a little excited to see what other environments there are. Also, I kinda want to start exploring what's under the ocean a little more, but I feel like I probably should level up a bit more first. Every time I'm in the water I'm expecting some fuck'n jump scare from a sea monster... I do the same thing when I take baths.Tommy_Hawk wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 11:21 am Yeah.

I accidentally wander to high level areas, and I too enjoy the different environments. The topography is great in this game. The shields the soldiers have remain a thorn in my side though. I have the shield breaker, but after I use it i feel like I just run around until my adrenaline meter refills then go back to the conflict. I feel cheap doing that, but its better than the reload screen.

I haven't bothered with the shield break thing. Either block their attack (L1 + R1 on the PS4), or time the dodge just right and time slows down. Light their ass up then.

The first one. I tried, and couldn't do it, so after I leveled up a couple times I went back and beat it finally but it took me awhile. I finally employed the strategy of keeping up the pressure on the big one, and ignoring the others because they would nickle and dime my health.
